Second Jury In Land Fraud Case
Seems Likely to Disagree.
Portland, Aug. 4. Afrter 33 hoar
oi argument and ineffectual endeavor
to agree upon a verdict, the twelve
weary men on the Williamson-Gesner-Biggs
jury went to what rest could be
gained in tbe crowded and stuffy jury
room last night st 11 o'clock. Seven
oi tbe men", so it is rumored, hold that
the defendants have not been proved to
have committed the crime charged in
the indictment and wish to return ft
verdict In accordance with their belief.
Five men bold the opposite, that crime
has been proved by the evidence oi the
government, and widh to return a ver
dict oi gulity. One other story has it
that the jury ia evenly divided, six
men wishing to convict and six to
acqit. Whether or not either oi these
stories I. true, the iact remain, that
there is a serious disagreement, and as
time has passed, the conviction has
growing around the Federal building
that there will be no verdict returned.
